Question:
This is my puppy Dakota. I adopted her from the animal shelter and I'm not sure what breed or mix of breeds she is. I'm almost positive that she is part husky. She has the markings around the eyes like a husky and the white stipe down from the forehead to the nose. She also has one blue eye and one brown eye. Recently she had begun to look like part german shepherd as well. It looks as though she has the body of a german shepherd and the face of a husky. Her tail also looks like a german shepherd as well as her coloring. She also has webbed paws so I'm wondering if she has some lab in her too. All of her litter mates were either the same coloring as her but with both brown eyes or they were a yellowish color like a yellow lab. One of the yellow pupies had two blue eyes and another had one blue and one brown and the others had all brown. Thats just a little background. I'm sorry I dont have any more recent pictures. If you have any ideas of your on of what Dakota might be please let me know...I'm just very curious!
Thanks!

Answer:
GSD/Husky is a good guess!!

Answer:
That's one cute doggy! How much does she weigh now? I've seen a few husky-labs and they ALL look so different. The pairing happens accidentally so often, that it's possible (but GSD crosses are very common too...)

Answer:
she's about 15 weeks now and she weighs about 20 lbs

Answer:
a lot of husky! good luck with the pup!

Answer:
Such a Sweetie. You can really see Huskie in the face markings.

Answer:
Very hard to tell at that age, and she could change a lot as she matures, but I'm going to say husky and something smaller - maybe border collie.

She sure is a cutiepie!!!

Answer:
Husky mixed with cuteness

I also thought something smaller, for some reason beagle came to mind. Whatever the mix she is just adorable!

Answer:
i dont think she is mixed with any smaller breed. she is getting very big and her paws are huge

Answer:
OMG she is a cutie patootie.

She definately has Husky in her(sister has 3)

I'm still trying to figure out what else she has in her.....

Answer:
In that last one, she reminds me a bit of Jemma with her facial expressions and the shape of her face... (jemma's husky lab)

Answer:
Husky yes but not sure about shepherd as her ears seem to flop and that is not a trait of either. Very cute though.

Actually Stacey,the ears on a GSD pup do flop before they start to stand.With my guys they went every which way before they stood up.Heck they even crossed over.LOL

Answer:
Oh she is soooooo cute! I would agree with the huskie too. And Prin your dog has some beautiful eyes, I love them!

Answer:
my dogs are shep/husky mixes. this is Punkin a few months ago. Similar colouring.

Answer:
wow!!!! that looks exactly like dakota. i was scrolling down the page and saw the picture and i became very confused. i thought to myself..."i dont have a picture of dakota like that that i posted?!?! then i realized that it wasnt here but geeez it looks just like her except for the pink nose and i dont think your dog has a blue eye. the markings are almost exact. i think im sold on husky/shepherd mix now!

Answer:
When we adopted Alexis we were told Husky, White GS mix. Heres a picture of her. We get everyone saying Oh, she looks like.....
Does not matter to us, no matter what we love her.

Answer:
hard to tell german shepards and huskys come in a wide variety. could be shepard/husky/ other things a good old heinz 57 its fun youll always have people guessing. i have what we suspect to a husky shepard cross and hes really light colouring. so long as their cute happy and healthy who cares

Answer:
Her foreleg structure/paws could very well be shepherd, her ears though may be more husky because they do not have the size and heaviness of a shepherd pups.

A question though, have you had her to the vet to check for internal parasites? her belly seems pretty big in the piccies, though I guess it could be she had ate just a bit earlier before the pic was taken

Answer:
I was thinking she maybe had some doberman in her along with the husky because of the tan coloring in the markings on her.

Answer:
Also you mentioned webbed feet. In order for her to have feet like that doesn't she have to have some type of hunting dog breed in her such as lab? Do retrievers or setters have webbed feet? And what other breeds of dogs would have webbed feet?

Answer:
The OP was from dec 2005 I wonder what that pup looks like now!!

Answer:
ROFLMAO Chico!! How did we get chatting on a post that is 2 years old?? I didn't even notice it was that old til you said something.
